Aqua Man's first grow diary

[Aqua Man]

18 days in the system and 20 days from sprout

Plants were topped on Dec 11. Didn't skip a beat. I'm pushing them even a little bit harder now, just to the point I am seeing a tiny bit of stress the last 2 days but increasing the transpiration is letting me keep the ppm down still at 450ppm (130ppm is tap 320ppm mega crop) I am noticing a tiny cal and mag deficiency so I will likely add some cal and mag. I think this is due to the low ppm that I'm running. Lux is at about 35k now. Anyhow just update with a comparison pic of 3 days ago until today after topping.

Not an option for me . With these being reg seeds I'm gonna hurt my yields but I'm going to take clones of each before flower and have a buddy keep them. If there is something outstanding I can then keep a mother.

Well it's not really a runt.... I dropped the poor thing and stunted it before it even had root in the water. It took a while for it to come around. These plants are only 20days since they broke soil so that difference in growth really made a difference

If you veg long enough they will show sex. Maybe an option, I tend not to trust other people's plants. Even if they were mine at one point.

Right now I'm nursing a plant back to health that my father had. Poor thing had the worst case of thrips I've ever seen in person.

Its quarantined in it's own tent now. I've treated it and it seems to be pest free, but might give it another treatment just to be sure.. it was bad...

I would... After the run at his place is done in about a week we are building a similar setup to mine but it will stay soil. The clones will go in there.

I'm putting the scrog in this weekend. Counting about 10 for seedling stage. I'm probably about 10-14 days from flip which will put me at 3-3.5 week veg and that's about right.

Also probably a 50% res change this weekend

We used a pint glass, a paper matchbook and a thumbtack. Slid off the edge of the table to hit the smoke filled glass and slide it around the circle for everyone.

yes sir...hood of the AMX Javelin .....whew lol

Just use a pollen chuck/press! Get a good one ( cheap ones suck but the ones the do work better aren’t that much more expensive )

Those threads fall easy (strip out. Use caution. I burned they 4 before I finally gave up on ot. Nothing like finding metal shavings in pressed pucks.

one thing for sure the other 2 you gave to buddy would fill that spot right now,first chance of a clone get r done

What price level did you try? They seem to be very variable for quality. As little as $10 and as much as $75 i seen online.

I had the same thing happen to the one I got years ago, I still use the shaft and rods but now I use a big C-clamp to compress them, works great.

2 day update.

22 days from sprout.

I defoliated quite a bit yesterday. The foliage was just to thick and had plenty of leaves stacking and sweating. They took it well and I have considered topping 1 more time but will decide tomorrow. I removed the fans from the main stalk except on the little one and the top node.

Little one is picking up steam. I really need to get my scrog net in soon.

Pics are Dec 13 and today Dec 15
